Micaela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am excited to work for Urbansitter to support with caregiving services! When I first learned about this opportunity, I immediately knew that I would be the one for the job! As an Early Childhood Education Associate Degree Graduate, current Bachelor of Psychology Major, former Home Based Preschool Owner, Director and Teacher, working in the field in various programs in the Santa Clara County for over 15 years, I am well versed in working with children and families with varied needs. Upon reflecting on ways that I have actively networked to increase accessibility and capacity while attending school full-time, I was inspired to sign up. Much can be achieved through careful, collaborative, culturally proficient and early innovative measures. Individuals that possess unique qualities such as compassion, flexibility as well as attention to the immediate needs of children and families, is what I have sought in caregiving. There are many reasons that I qualify as an Urbansitter caregiver beyond what can be included in this introduction however the two assets that are most important to me are passion and purpose. Passion describes what I hold in my core as everything that drives my motivation for working with children and families. My purpose aligns with the duties of this position as I have centered my life’s work in expanding belief systems, stepping in to support areas of gaps, bridging relationships, creating alternative pathways and continuing to make strides where there seems to be little resolve. Upon consideration for caregiving support through Urbansitter, I vow to support families by utilizing the tools that I have acquired as well as obtain new ones by exercising personal growth and continuing my education. I look forward to working together! Sincerely, Micaela

Rita 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Rita, and I have over 15 years of experience working in child care, including extensive experience caring for toddlers and infants. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and develop confidence. Throughout my career, I have supported children's social, emotional, and developmental needs through age-appropriate activities, positive guidance, and strong communication with families. I am patient, reliable, and dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential while ensuring their well-being and happiness every day.

“I highly recommend Rita as a babysitter and childcare provider. She helped care for my children for over 15 years, from infancy through their toddler years and beyond. During that time, she was consistently reliable, caring, patient, and attentive to their needs. She created a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for my children and treated them with kindness and respect. I always felt confident leaving my children in her care because she was dependable, responsible, and genuinely cared about their well-being and development. Her experience with infants, toddlers, and young children is exceptional, and she has a natural ability to connect with children of all ages. I am grateful for the care and support she provided to my family over the years, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and experienced babysitter.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
